Words on the Way - Muz Murray Mantra Yoga Master

) “There are two classes of ojas:
1) Para ojas, is responsible for the life principles. On its
destruction, death is certain to occur. Its main office is
the heart, and through cardio-respiratory motions, it
helps the mind to control al motions of the cells and
the entire body.
2) Apara ojas is constantly in tanmåtric [subtle essence]
motion, through the circulation. On its deficiency or
destruction there are various physical and mental
diseases in the body.
By means of ojas, psychic power, the mind works with
the senses for acquisition of knowledge of the external and
internal environment. Knowledge is not possible if the
power of ojas is not with the mind.” 2
